PORTO
Our office is near Porto, in the north of Portugal, and is located in a vibrant business hub. It offers a dynamic and welcoming environment where our employees can connect and network with a large community of tech professionals. THE ROLE As an AI & Automation Engineer, you will act as both builder and strategic architect. You’ll partner with Product, Data and Operations to eliminate process bottlenecks and deploy production-grade systems that scale, helping evolve internal AI efforts into a centralized service capability. THE CHALLENGE

“How do you process millions of luxury product SKUs, unstructured brand attributes and high-volume media assets with speed, precision and low human friction?”

At Farfetch, our Catalogue and Content domain powers the digital storefront for the world’s leading fashion brands and boutiques. We are building the next generation of automated, AI-driven ingestion and enrichment pipelines. We aren't looking for someone to shoehorn LLMs into every problem, we need someone who knows when a deterministic Python script wins, when a workflow DAG is required and when a multi-step AI agent can accelerate our time to market.
